On the website in the design drop down of the Theatre it is still referencing G2, surely it should come with the G3 or even latest G4 when available … assuming it will when bought via a store. In my real world experience the best thing I did was trading up my G2 65 for the G3 65 with MLA… made me fall in love again with movies… excellent Atmos sound & a picture second to none (maybe just to the Sony A95L) but BeoRemote One control made the LG the only choice.
When did B&O suddenly start calling the theatre The “BeoVision Theatre” when it’s paired with a screen? The name also changed on its own in the app.
This seems very reasonable,just a marketing move.
I am very dissapointed by the Theatre, not the product itself, but the software. e.g. Spotify no longer listed in music sources, but in the tv sources list. Contacting B&O support… please sir could you do a factory reset? Have done it 4 times now and I am tired of it. You lose all your settings. Unbelievable.
I completely agree with Dstefan’s post, you should be able to export/backup your current settings, so every time there is a firmware update or you have to factory re-set, you just import your settings again.
Then there is the awful BR1 remote! Please B&O work on a BR2 version, the BR1 has constant resets, drop outs, screen goes blank etc etc.
I for one do not want to use my phone as a remote, I prefer to put it away when I’m home.
Oh my god they finally updated the icon. Work in progress as its a bit of a trick to get it working.
….how?
My app is updated to latest (of today) beta version – I am on iOS.

You don’t even need the latest. The previous build worked too.
Go to product colour.
Choose the second option (NOTHING WILL VISUALLY CHANGE. It will just show the soundbar)
Go back.
The icon should be updated to include the TV.
Thanks – that worked!
Seems to be an easter egg ? placed by the app team….
…..to keep us guessing what has changed with every new version.MM
Honestly I think it’s just a bug from an incomplete beta. Thats why there are 3 different greys that look the same. In the latest webcast they mentioned it would be coming. The impressive part is that it knows somehow that I have the 65″.

completely agree with you,and there is no airplay source that i can set for

Great thanks, and it’s also aware if you have stand or not! Looks a lot better now in my app.
The unveiling is today (there was a countdown on the B&O instagram but it’s now gone).
I noticed with this new firmware that the BR1 is actually responsive. Previously if I hit the volume buttons there would be a 5-10 second delay before anything happened. Now it’s instant. Yay! Only took over a year to fix too.
Please don’t get too excited as it might end up draining your battery within a couple of weeks like one of the previous firmwares did for the BR1…
but I hope it is resolved like I’m still waiting for the option to start and listen to a source from the NL/ML system like is possible with the Stage. Also would be nice to define which speaker is connected to a BeoLab Receiver 1.

Just a note: I can almost start all connected BLC devices/sources directly on the BLC with the B&o app. Then the Theatre can be easily joined. I know the BLC sources are not Theatre sources (as with a BV11 or BL35 or…..) but it works easy and straightforward.
Only my Beosystem 7000, which is T1611 connected to a BLC wont accept direct starting commands.This way I start BS3000 CD, BS9000 CD, Beocenter 2 CD and connect/integrate BS5e, BG4000 and BG4002 in my NL system
My BR1 remote was also updated with this new Theatre update and you can now see the battery level easily on the remote.
Hi Skywalker,
No update for my Theater, is 3.4.1 a beta version?
Kind regards,
Yann.
